Default Cutting your fenders?

What do you guys use to make a nice clean cut when you cut your front fenders?

Default Cutting your fenders?

I didnt cut my front, but did alot of trimming on the rear. First off I either used a hack saw or a dremel with a disc on it. I personally like the hack saw because its easier to keep a strait edge and you can be more careful with it. I shaved my fenders the way I wanted them, then I smoothed the edges with a wide file or sand paper. Make sure not to get the paper or file on the fender itself, it will take the luster away from it very badly. Make sure to align some tape where u want to cut and be careful to stick to the lines. And remember, u can always take off more, but never put any back..

There are special tools for cutting that will heat up and actually melt a cut and make it very clean. I forget what they call them but I know they are out there.
